Real Zaragoza will look to continue their impressive start to the 2024-25 Spanish second division season when they host Elche this weekend.
The last two seasons have been disastrous for the hosts. Los Maños finished 13th in the 2022-23 campaign and things got even worse for them last year, with the team finishing in the bottom eight. However, head coach Víctor Fernández has got Real Zaragoza playing good football this term. The hosts sit just two points off the top of the tree and have yet to suffer a defeat this season.
Elche have simply picked up where they left off last season. The visitors ended the 2023-24 campaign on a six-match winless streak, which included four defeats, and Eder Sarabia's side have already lost twice this term.
Real Zaragoza vs Elche Betting Tips: Double chance for Zaragoza & Under 2.5 goals
The 2024-25 season has started well for Real Zaragoza in both attack and defence. Indeed, Víctor Fernández's men have conceded just one goal in their three matches so far and they found the back of the net on six occasions. Zaragoza are now on a six-match unbeaten run and I fancy them to extend that streak this weekend.
Elche have not been so lucky when it comes to scoring goals of late. Los Franjiverdes failed to find the back of the net in five of their last seven games in all competitions, and their goalscoring record against Zaragoza isn't too good either. Sarabia's men failed to find the net in five of the last nine encounters between the two sides, with only one of those fixtures producing more than two goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Real Zaragoza vs Elche prediction: 1-0

Real Zaragoza team news
Andrés Borge will be unavailable to Real Zaragoza head coach Víctor Fernández this weekend due to injury.
Borge has missed the last 21 games due to a knee ligament injury, but the defender is the hosts’ only injury concern ahead of the visit of Elche on Sunday.
After watching his side failed to score against Mirandes last weekend, head coach Víctor Fernández may be tempted to make some changes to his XI.
Pau Sans and Mario Soberón were withdrawn at half-time in that game, so are likely to be among those expected to be demoted to the bench.

Elche team news
Head coach Eder Sarabia is not expected to make changes to his Elche side that thrashed Cordoba at Manuel Martínez Valero earlier this week.
Nicolás Fernández is expected to retain his number 10 role despite his penalty miss in that game and could be joined in the final third by Óscar Plano and Yago Santiago, while Bambo Diaby and Matía Barzic will again form the centre-back pairing.
